Summary: A Must have if you love Anne of Green Gables!
Review: Anne of Ingleside is one of the best books that I have ever read! This is the sixth book in the Anne of Green Gables series and features some of your favorite characters from the previous novels return! Such as Little Elizebeth, Diana Berry, Rebecca Dew, and others! This novel also indroduces us to Anne's 6 children! Jem who is named after Captain Jim from the fifth book in the series Anne's House of Dream.....Who gets into all kinds of trouble. You also get a chance to see how time has worn at the marrige of Gilbert and Anne! All in all it is a must read! This book can be read even if you haven't read the other 5 books in the series. Believe it or not and still make really good sense!

Summary: I really liked it!
Review: First of all, Anne does NOT stop being Anne (with an e), for example, on page 8 Anne says "Don't talk as if our day was ended, Diana. We're only 15 years old and kindred spirits. The air isn't just full of light ... it is light. I'm not sure that I haven't sprouted wings." My favorite part of the book was when the ladies were gossiping, it was really funny. If you skip that part of the book how do you know it's boring?
Susan is definatly the funniest character in the book. And who says Anne has to be a feminist?
If you like Anne you should like these books.

Summary: I love Anne's children
Review: I loved this book every bit as much as I loved the earlier ones. Anne's children are sweet and wonderful, and it's good to know that Gilbert still loves her after all those years! I only wish there were a book in between the previous book and this one. It seems quite a jump for Anne, whose life we have known so intimately ever since she was 11 years old, to suddenly go from having one baby to having 5 children and one on the way.

Summary: Very Well Written But...A little Romance,Please?
Review: I think this book was absolutely fantastic. I read this book first and then I read the others though I still have to read a couple more. A flaw in all the books I have so far read about Anne is that the author has created no romance between Anne and Gilbert . I mean a little kissing wouldn't hurt at all and it would make the books so much more romantic and sweet . I don't mean to say that the author has to be totally Danielle Steel but it would have been nice if she had made her books romantic. The worst thing in this whole book was the incessant gossiping of the old ladies at the sewing party. I skipped it because it was so boring. Nevertheless I really like these books and I think the author has described the natural beauty very NICELY. You would feel as if you were there.I find Anne's children very adorable. And I would like to inform the other readers out there that Anne has six children:Jem, Walter, Di, Nan, Shirley and Rilla. I recommend this book to all as it is full of laughter and fun.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: If you like Anne of Green Gables in any way, you have to read the other books in order to see her grow up. She stills continue to get in trouble, romance with Gilbert continues, just about anything that can happen, happens. These books fulfill everything that you could ever want out of a book.

Summary: The beginning of the end
Review: in this book Anne stops being Anne! She becomes this average mother that sits in the background. Gilbert is hard to find and is never called Gilbert, but only Dr. Blythe. I don't mind the children but the Anne story should have ended at book five. The end, where Anne feels jealous was about the only part you could truly enjoy, it had the only bit of romance you see in the whole book. Read it if you love Anne but if you don't, don't bother.

Summary: Disappointment
Review: It seems that Montgomery didn't know what to fill this book with. There are some nice stories about Anne's children (who are very sweet kids indeed), but there is also the extremely boring chapter about the gossipy Ladies' Aid meeting, or the too lengthy presence of the personage of aunt Mary Maria. Anne herself has turned into a common housewife, and there is nothing left of the good naughty little girl with the great imagination or the clever and ambitious young woman. Gilbert is a doctor, Anne is "Mrs Doctor", and we almost forget about the earlier school and college competions between both of them, where they are equal and both interesting. Reading the previous books one could think Anne would become a famous writer, not just the shadow of man she loves. She is really a wonderful mother and wife, but she could be these things without losing her personality too.

Summary: Great!
Review: Lucy Montgomery can't seem to write convincing men, and only does marginally better with women. The quality of this series has really gone downhill since Anne was a girl, or even a young woman. Now that she has children, the book no longer focuses on her, which was really the main reason the books seemed to come alive in the beginning. Now, they drag on and on. I found myself having to skim large sections simply because nothing happens. One of the longest chapters is a quilting circle's gossip- and that's it. And it's not even gossip about characters we know or care about! A genius to the early books was that Anne either had many problems, or believed she did, and we could join in the child's angst about life. But now Anne has the ideal life she has always wanted. And there is no conflict. And hence, much of this book is simply boring. There are times when things pick up- like when her children get into trouble. We start to see something similar to the adventures of the Anne we knew. But each issue is quickly resolved within a chapter, and nothing encourages you to go on to the next pericope. There is some hope when Anne starts to dabble with match-making, but this is quickly ended before it could get very interesting. Aunt Mary Maria is a pill of a woman, and she makes for some very interesting reading- but then she leaves after the first quarter of the book, never to be seen again, and with everything unresolved.When Lucy writes of Anne's son, Jem, there is something missing. He doesn't seem like a boy somehow- or else not like a real human. And I realized that this is further developed in Lucy's treatment of Gilbert, who seems to be amazingly absent in these later books. There is no great undying love between her and Gilbert as there was in earlier books. Yes, it is mentioned, it is assumed, but we don't see it. Gilbert does very little thought or action- he is mostly wallpaper. Lucy doesn't write convincing male characters. The last third of the book picks up somewhat, with a few more conflicts for the children, and Anne's marriage appears to be in jeopardy. But I finished this book really unsure as to if I wanted to read the final installment- despite the foreshadowing of the last two pages.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This book is awesome! Although I have to admit, that some books are better, say "Rilla of Ingleside". I've recommended the "Anne" series to all my friends and they've promised me that they'd read it, for my sake. Even my librarian is as desperate as I am trying to find the rest of the books in the series. "Anne of Ingleside" has it's ups and downs but mostly it's all ups!

Summary: I really liked it!
Review: This is the first Anne of Green Gables book I've read, but I have seen the earler versions on tv. I guess I cheated by jumping right to Anne of Ingleside,but I was anxious to see how she fared with five kids, six actually, because she's pregnant when the story opens.
I read it and all I can say is what a sweet
adolescent book:) This story takes us on an adventure of Anne
and her family. Mostly each chapter is devoted to a single family member's adventure. With three girls and three boys, there are many adventures, like the time when an aunt came and wouldn't leave,or the lesson about false friends.
This was a fun book to read and I definitely
give it my highest rating:)
